I know oldtimers who reflexively fluff the tobacco when they first pop the tin. They've done it for decades.
It is well known that tobacco improves in flavor when it's been open for a few days, especially if the tin is only a few years old. Does anyone have any scientific explanation?
I remember Del Monte many years ago had pineapple juice in big tins. This was before plastics suitable for food liquids were invented. The instructions were to aerate the juice by pouring out a glassful and dumping it into an empty glass, back and forth for a few times. Sho'nuff, the flavor really developed. I assume this was akin to the way freshly boiled (and cooled) water is pretty tasteless till it absorbs some air. Is something like this going on with tobacco?
